Tim Slatter

Etchings

Bainbridge Larch 1

Littondale Rocks

Padstow Boats

Bridge at Bolton Hall

These charming and whimsical etchings are by Yorkshire-born etcher, Tim Slatter.  He goes to the dales and moors and draws from nature.   In addition, recent work includes dramatic images of the architectural landscape of New York.

Tim uses steel etching plates.  The image is 'bitten' into the plate with acid, then aquatinted and adjusted with diamond tipped tools.  Colours and textures are added with ink, then more colour is added with a large roller.   Handmade paper is laid onto the plate and the two pressed together in a three ton press to give the final print.

Tim was awarded a Prince's Trust bursary in 1999, a Northern Arts bursary in 2000 and was a Northern Finalist in the 2000 Shell Livewire Young Business Award.  He has shown his work in numerous exhibitions, with a recent one-man show in London opened by HRH The Prince of Wales.

His work is in the collections of the late Princess Diana, The House of Commons, Railtrack and Bank Julius Baer.
